iii
Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA-100 before making any installation. Be sure
both the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power
could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the NA-100 is properly grounded.
3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards
are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
9
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your
body.
9
When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from
most electronic component stores.

Enabling LAN by-pass feature (Option)
What’s the LAN by-pass means for NA-100 series? That doesn’t have any
down time in network connections for other specify two network segments
(LAN1 and LAN2) while it has any fetal errors for this device.
We are define three levels for the LAN by-pass features,
They are,
1. Power lost
While the AC power lost for this device, the LAN1 and LAN2 still can
communicate with each other through hardware relay which like as
a short cut between the two segments. If the power inlet can be
normally done, the relay will turn to other right position.

Installation Procedures
NA-100 Hardware Installation Guide
2. GPIO control
That like as a switch of your application software. You can enable
the hardware relay feature through the GPIO control from your
application programs. Then the software solution provider can have
more flexibility make it closely with their program.
3. WDT (Watch Dog Timer)
We have supported the WDT (Watch Dog Timer) feature in our
hardware. While the time out in the default value of timer, it can do
the system reset or do a short cut for two specify segments by
hardware relay.
We can support the sample code for customer reference.

Award BIOS Utility
Chapter 3 describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that
comes with the SBC8A806. Also contained here are instructions on how to
set up the BIOS configuration.
3.1
BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors in a standard IBM-AT
compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for
standard devices such as disk drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds
virus and password protection as well as special support for detailed
fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
3.2
BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility. When you turn ON the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately
activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup
utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self
Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the
Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing
the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete>
keys. You can also restart by turning the system OFF and back ON again.
The following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to
quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and
exit choices.
20
Award BIOS Utility
NA-100 Hardware Installation Guide
The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control keys
for this menu. Another section located at the bottom of the Main Menu, just
below the control keys section, displays information on the currently
highlighted item in the list.
NOTE:
If you find that your computer cannot boot after making and
saving system changes with Setup, the Award BIOS, via its
built-in override feature, resets your system to the CMOS default
settings.
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset
defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your
system manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and
reliability.
3.3
Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error
handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a working system, you will
not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS option,
however, if you change your system hardware configurations, the onboard
battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was lost or
damaged.
Award BIOS Utility
21
NA-100 Hardware Installation Guide
At the bottom of the menu are the control keys for use on this menu. If you
need any help in each item field, you can press the <F1> key. It will display
the relevant information to help you. The memory display at the lower
right-hand side of the menu is read-only. It will adjust automatically according
to the memory changed. The following pages describe each item of this
menu.

The month, Jan through Dec.
The year, depends on the year of BIOS
Time
The time format is <hour> <minute> <second> accepting either
function key or numerical key. The time is calculated based on the
24-hour military-time clock. For example, 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.
Primary Master/Primary Slave/Secondary Master/Secondary Slave
The categories identify the types of one channel that have been
installed in the computer. There are 45 predefined types and 2
user definable types are for Enhanced IDE BIOS. Type 1 to Type
45 are predefined. Type User is user-definable.
Press <PgUp>/<+> or <PgDn>/<−> to select a numbered hard disk
type or type the number and press <Enter>. Note that the
specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The
hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information
within this category. If your hard disk drive type does not match or
is not listed, you can use Type User to define your own drive type
manually.
If you select Type User, related information is asked to be entered

password. A message will confirm the password being disabled. Once the
password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password is enabled, you have to type it every time you enter Setup.
This prevents any unauthorized person from changing your system
configuration.
Additionally when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to
request a password every time the system reboots. This would prevent
unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option. If the Security option is set to “System”,
the password is required during boot up and entry into Setup. If set as “Setup”,
prompting will only occur prior to entering Setup.
